I’ve been wanting to read the Chronicles of Narnia for a long time, and was very excited when I finally managed to get a boxset. The Magician’s Nephew is a book I will never call a favourite, but it was charming and an alright prequel to set up The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

A quick, light and easy read. The parallel to the Christian story of creation is fairly obvious, but  I really enjoyed getting to know how Narnia came to be as well as some of Jadis' and some other characters' backstories.

I see why chronologically you should read this one first but if you do not know the world you will not understand this book, sort of.
